Even if the rules of the group evolve to a more coded approach, not all users will follow the rules to the same extent.Dean Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-55385453143777705822013-04-14T22:56:35.214-05:002013-04-14T22:56:35.214-05:00There have been Jack Daniels collectors groups of ...There have been Jack Daniels collectors groups of this nature operating on Facebook since before the Ebay shutdown.

We are changing some things later today that will make it more vague and help it survive. Important to note is that we have the domain http://www.bourbonexchange.net. Right now it forwards straight to the Facebook group. In the future it may operate independent of Facebook.<br /><br />Thanks for your support and comments.

I&#39;m no lawyer, but I think if you position it more vaguely (&quot;If you have information as to where someone could obtain a bottle, post a pic of it. If you are interested in information as to where to buy a bottle, post what you&#39;re looking&quot;.) Posting the price asked, and the price paid makes it nearly impossible to argue that what is taking place is legal (unless those posting have the appropriate licenses, etc). <br /><br />The first sale has garnered some skeptical comments (they have asked that only the buyer/seller comment on pricing to avoid negativity, but the first sale was $250 for a bottle that is sitting on the shelves here for $90 - even with some shipping seems like gouging). Granted - they just posted the bottle and price, they didn&#39;t hold a gun to someone&#39;s head to pay it.<br /><br />Don&#39;t get me wrong - I WANT this to work, as I am a whiskey collector who misses the eBay days. But I&#39;m afraid their approach is daring facebook to shut them down for breaking the law, where if they thought about it more - they could create a setup that might have longer legs (although I admit - to be ambiguous enough to avoid the ire of authorities, it might be above the heads of some of the would-be participants; only because they aren&#39;t as familiar with the laws).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-87755040236567792192013-04-12T14:12:51.343-05:002013-04-12T14:12:51.343-05:00Thanks for the support Chuck!
